When I finally was able to pull myself together I stood up. It wasn't an easy thing for a woman to do. Leaving a marriage is one of the toughest thing for a woman to do. Even if he was abusive it takes a lot of strength for us to actually get out of the relationship. Some will return and finally after a multitude of forgiveness and resentment we will be finally be ready to shed that part of our life and then slowly we will move on. I was finally able to break this circle of disappointment and crushed hopes.When I opened the door I couldn't see him. I was glad that he had given upon trying to stop me. I didn't want to fight with him on my way out. I want to leave with a good memory. I should have known that our relationship will be doomed. I tried to save it. I have to admit I did a pretty good job of helping him. Only if he was a little more interested in living with me like I was. But I have already forgiven him and myself for desperation. That is what we had not love but the need
"What did my father ask?", I started my interrogation straight away."He wanted money obviously and I wasn't going to give him", he said gritting his teeth."So the argument happened", I asked."Yes. Even if I gave him money I knew that he wouldn't leave us alone. He would come after us. He was greedy for money and there was so stopping it", he said."You didn't have to worry. I would have never allowed him to drain your money", I said."I wasn't worried about money. I was afraid he would destroy my family", he said."You wanted to kill him?", I asked him."Yes I did. But I knew doing that would permanently make you hate me. So I dropped that thought", he said."Tell me something that you missed that day?", I asked him."Wait there is something", he said."What?", I asked him."I saw Lisa on my way out", he said."What?", I asked shocked."Yes", he said."When was it?", I asked him."I guess she watched us fighting. She was sitting on a chair not that far away", she said."Why you did
Today is my big day. The day that I have dreamt about since my childhood.We are going to announce our engagement to the world, me and Parker. My greatest friend and well-wisher. The most popular guy in the school is now my soon-to-be husband. I bet nobody would believe it if it was eight years ago.The uninterrupted work for several days made me a little haggard. I looked at myself in the mirror and touched up my face. I want myself to look perfectly matched with Parker. Whenever I was with him I still felt like the chubby teen girl. There is enough time for that I should get some work done till then. I was dismayingly checking the stock sheets when I saw Parker's call. I picked it up immediately."Hello Meredith", said Parker."Hi", I said straightening the papers before me."Are you excited to announce it to the world yet?", asked Parker."I'm and I hope our parents are happy too", I said with a half smile."Trust me they are very much happy for us. They already love you. I will
"Parker I", I hesitated. But before I could finish my apology I was interrupted by Parker again. "I can't believe I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman on earth", said Parker with a smile. I heard an audible sigh from Lisa. My father too let out a breath that he held on for too long. Parker watched us all curiously. He hadn't heard anything. "I have something to tell you", I said to Parker. "Meredith", called my father. I heard the warning clear in his voice. I shouldn't tell anything Parker at least not in my father's presence. "Yes father", I asked meekly. "I will be in my room. Take care of what you say before people. You will be dragging down our reputation in public if you are careless. I'm going since I have a meeting in five minutes ", said my father and left us. I knew he wasn't talking about the press meeting. He was warning me to not say anything to Parker. "Shall we go then?", asked Parker kissing my lips softly. "I can't go Parker. I have a headache", I
Matt had done something horrible and I was left to suffer the repercussions of his actions. It has been a week since Matt made that disastrous announcement. We went back to our house escaping the circus around us. I had never known paparazzi to be this vicious. My father was furious when he saw what Matt had done. But he was forced to accept the congratulations. They thought that we got married recently. I shiver with terror when I realise what they would do if they had any clue about what caused our separation. I hadn't stepped a foot outside. I'm on a long leave from my company citing personal reasons. I was getting restless because I couldn't imagine the state of our business because of my long leave. My father hardly did anything remotely beneficial for our company. But what choice do I have? We haven't done a press conference or anything till now. We decided to lay low so far Matt is doing the same. I wondered why would he subject both of our companies to bear the brunt of his br
"You look like an Angel except I know who you are for real", commented Matt leaning back on Tesla."I imagined you driving a flashy sports car Matt, not this one", I shot back."I have many cars and to sit in my favourite car you have to earn that privilege", he said opening the door. "Even if you bring your best car I still won't be impressed Matt", I said climbing into the car."Maybe my car can't impress you but a man like me doesn't need to show off his car or mansion to get ladies. I have something better and it worked fine for you too", he said flashing me a grin. I sat in the car with a flushed face silent. "Why do you want this press meet now?", I asked him after some time. "My PR team doesn't like this when I pull something this big on them at the last minute. So they want me to do damage control", he said with a shrug. "I have no idea what to say except lie to everything they ask", I said with an irritated sigh. "No never lie Meredith. Try to be truthful as much as poss
"What are you doing?", I hissed at him."Be quiet. This is an act so that the staff doesn't pay close attention to us", he said calmly.I was beyond embarrassed for being picked up like a five-year-old. I hadn't been conscious about my weight for a long time."Put me down. I hate being manhandled by you", I whispered and shouted at him."It is either this or I kiss you", he said. That shut me up for good. I didn't want to be kissed by him again. I saw the door being opened and a black stern woman looking at us. Her eyes were shocked when she spotted me in the arms of her boss."Hello Mrs Morgan I would like you to meet my wife Meredith Whitlock", he said pleased."Welcome Mrs Farrell", she said after staying motionless for a few seconds.After we got inside he put me down gently. But he didn't let me go and put his hand over my waist. I squirmed uncomfortably because I hated being the centre of attention and this one wasn't any better than my board meeting presentation. Usually, I le
I picked up the phone reluctantly. I knew I was being watched by Matt closely but to not pick up in his presence would mean that I was hiding something."Meredith why didn't you call me?", he asked me."I didn't know you were waiting for my call", I said but I felt myself flustered under his gaze."I was. Please keep in touch", he said.I didn't reply to his comment and he felt that something was off immediately."Why are you not talking to me? Is he with you?", he asked impatiently."Yes", I said."Damn! I thought he might have left for work. Call me later", he said ending the conversation soon. I was a little perturbed because I knew Matt was waiting for me to finish before starting another fight the small truce we had made sometimes during the meal was lost now. "Meredith you have to cut off your ties with him. He is not the right man for you", he said slowly. "Why should I? This is a contract marriage", I said. I knew agreeing immediately might raise suspicions. "It is not becau

"I thought we would", I said to him. I was still breathless from our coupling. He watched me with a hidden smile. I knew he would happily wait for me even if it is a century. I would do the same for him too. I was too tired maybe it was the anticipation of the date that drained me. He stood up and went outside while I was admiring the view. It killed me to watch the beautiful skin marred by a few scars thanks to the run ins he had with the bounty hunters. I was thankful too for his fast thinking and reflexes without which he wouldn't have survived. I pursed my lips at my own brain. Why can't I stop worrying and be happy for a second. We have come far and further only to be derailed by our own minds.I opened my arms to him. He had gone and fixed the fire braving the wind and cold so I could remain warm. It was more than enough to make me horny. His thoughtful gestures are the one that make me want to jump his bones and this time wasn't any different.He put his lips on me. Our kisses
I'm a great planner but no amount of planning had prepared me for this date night. So I'm still wearing my. Comfort clothes and waiting for my husband. He had secretly escaped. I have no idea where he was. He asked to get ready and wait for him. That is what I was doing. It wasn't an easy part. But now I was very much relaxed. He is around somewhere."Sorry for making you wait", he said handing me these wild flowers that I had planted in the garden a long time ago. A lady comes here sometimes to water them. But I have asked her not to come anymore because I planned to make my husband stay here undetected for a long time."Lucky to find those because most of them are withered", he said."I have give a paid vacation for the lady who used to water them", I said with a sigh."That is a wise decision", he said to me."She has no one. Her fiance left her a week before the wedding. She certainly deserves it", I said to him.."How do you know so many things about her?", he asked curiously."T
"I think we need a break", said Matt rising from the chair."We just only started", I said or did protesting."No we have been going at it for a week", said Matt."Yet we don't have any clue", I said."That is exactly why we should take a break", he said."You hate talking", I told him."I don't hate talking but you want to talk about the murder nothing else", he said."What else you want me to talk about?", I asked him."US. Our daughter. Our future", he said."We will have no future if you don't get cleared out in the court", I said to him."I know but there is still a lot of issues other than that. We need to sort this out. If I get caught and thrown back there I may never get to earn your forgiveness", he said."You have done nothing to ask forgiveness", I said."That is a big lie. I know we have many problems and the way I treated you. Plus the things I have hidden from you have taken a toll on us. I know you haven't acknowledged that I'm really here. Somewhere deep down you stil
"I'm sorry there is nothing to eat in here except biscuits", I said to him."I'm very content to live in here. I don't need anything the freedom itself is going to help me thrive", he said.He looked around. He saw a couple of photographs with me and my grandmother. I was this chubby baby but my grandmother was holding me. I was four or five.I do miss her. She was a mother figure and a great help for me. She is even helping me now by giving me a place to hide on the run."You are in this trouble because of me. By now I'm sure that Salvatore might have spilled his guts about your involvement", he said to me."I know. But I'm happy that I wasn't trapped with him",I said shuddering.."He had raped countless woman and had even assaulted a woman who dared to fight him back", he said."I'm glad I didn't end up as one myself", I said to him."He wouldn't be alive if he had touched you", he said under his breath. I was sure that he didn't want to say it out alloud."What did you do here?", h
"But you are with me now", I told him suppressing a smile."Yes. I was supposed to run alone and leave you at home. But now we are here together because of you", he said to me."Are you sad that you are here with me?", I asked him."I'm not sad. How can I be sad? The only thing I wanted in those lonely days was you. Now you are with me. I don't care about the consequences. But I know that there will be hell to pay for this", he said closing his eyes."Where are you going?", he asked me."I have thought to take you to one of my holiday spots", I murmured distracted. Having a close call with death had certainly rehashed my sense."Are you alright?", he asked me tenderlyI tightened my lips. Was I alright? I didn't know. The marks of his fingerprints might fade over time. But the trauma of being held at gunpoint will stay with me for the rest of my life."I'm good", I said carelessly. His fingers gently touched my forearms. My sleeve was torn and he could easily see the bruises on me. I
I wanted to help my husband however I ended up doing the exact opposite. But I have trust in one thing that is Salvatore won't say anything that goes against his interest. He wants to escape here outing one's plan means his ability to get out of here as well. So I was sure that he won't tell anyone. But that doesn't stop him from doing something that is going to damage our plans. I have to be really cautious. I had already given up the uniform that was meant for Matt. I was sure that he is going to escape from here using this. But what about Matt? How can he go when the only door before us is closed. I instantly regretted my decision of taking this enormous responsibility. If only I didn't choose to come here. I was instantly recognised by Salvatore. That is the sole reason for our plan to doom.I watched Salvatore closely he was looking tense. His eyes wary even though he was sharing a joke with another mean looking guy. I knew his secret. He was going to get out and he didn't want t
This was a game. A very dangerous one. But I have no choice other than to play this. I'm afraid that this is going to be our last chance to be together. We have to fight every odds to survive. This might even endanger our lives. But we have to somehow battle everything and everyone who is going to stand between us and freedom. I don't dare explain this to Matt. I knew he won't understand my words. He will probably end up being too annoyed to try this out. He might choose to stay and wait. He wouldn't do anything that is going to put me in danger."We have to take him with us as well", I said to him."Don't. You don't know what he had done. He will hurt you pretty bad if he ever got a chance", he said to me."We have to help him or he is going to tell on us", I reminded him."I don't think it is that bad compared to the possibility of taking him with us", he said to me."Why is he so dangerous? How could he hurt me while you are with me?", I asked him."This question itself proves how
